As daycare Executive Directors, we are responsible for the daily management of our centers. It sounds simple enough, however, often, our plans change quickly and without notice. Not all daycares are similar in their mandates, vision, and mission statements. The roles and responsibilities may also differ from center to center and from one Executive Director to another. While being mindful of everyone’s differences, the QAPPD remains steadfast in providing as much support as possible to its members.

This section includes a bit of everything to help all Executive Directors with some of their daily responsibilities. The topics are divided and further sub-divided to best suit everyone’s needs. Do you have any additional resources?
